The 3S7505BR520 Lamp Burnout Relay is connected in series with the lamp and its power source. Thus, when
current flows through the circuit, the relay is energized. If the lamp should fail, current flow is interrupted and
the relay drops out, activating an alarm or signal device. Similarly, failure of the power source will cause acti-
0 vation of the alarm or signal device.

When using the low voltage supply from terminals on the 3S7505PG520 Photoelectric Relay, it is imperative that
proper ground wire continuity be maintained as described below or non-operation and damage will result. It is
recommended that black and white wires be used in order to observe the color coding shown on markings at the
respective terminal boards. When light source transformers are used, white wire(s) should be attached to the
“common” terminal and black wire(s) to the selected voltage terminal(s).

*This equipment is designed to meet NEMA requirements for hazardous locations, Class I, Group D and Class II,
Groups E, F and G.

These insfrucfions do not purport to cover all details or variafions in equipmenf nor to provide for every possible confingency to
be mef in connecfion with insfalkafion, operafion or mainfenance. Should further informafion be desired or should particular problems
arise which are not covered sufficiently for fhe purchaser’s purposes, the maffer should be referred to fhe General Electric Company.

**Note that the voltage tap used will not correspond to the lamp voltage because of drop in the BR520. When con-
nected as above, actual lamp voltage will be as tabulated and lamp life will be as given for those voltages in the
Light Source and Scanner instructions.

The 3S7505BR520 relay may be used for signaling or alarm with lamps other than the above (and with other devices)
where current level lies either in the range 2.0 to 5.0 amperes or 0.3 to 0.75 amperes and drops to zero in the
off (or “burnout”) condition. The ungrounded side of the circuit should go in series with terminals (C!) and (A)
for the higher current ratingor terminals (B) and (A) for the lower current.

Terminal (G) has no internal connection in the BR520 and may be used for convenient connection of the ground or
common wire, as in the table above, or need not be connected, if desired. It is necessary to maintain correct
common or ground wiring whether or not terminal (G) is used.

Output Contacts: SPDT

Life at 115VAC: 100,000 cycles at 2A, 1,000 cycles at 5A.
Contact Rating: 3A at 115V or 1A at 23OV, resistive.

NOTE: Contacts are shown in de-energized position. Thus, if you expect to close a contact upon lamp failure
you must use the N. C. contact.
